Work-Related De Quervain's Tensosynovitis (DQT): The Diagnosis Dilemma.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A female presented with right wrist pain for nine months. The diagnosis was De Quervain's tenosynovitis; her condition was initially managed conservatively, but later she needed surgery due to the lack of improvement. No workplace intervention had been implemented because her hand surgeons did not consider her occupational exposures. It was later discovered that there was significant exposure to ergonomic hazards at her workplace. She received accommodations in her workplace that led to reduction of exposure to ergonomic hazards and the subsequent dramatic improvement in her condition. This case report indicates that some orthopedists do not appreciate the role of occupational exposure to ergonomic hazards in the pathogenesis of similar conditions. Occupational medicine specialists and orthopedists should, therefore, communicate with each other to reach a consensus regarding the association between occupational exposures to ergonomic hazards and work-related upper limb disorders (WRULDs).
